I have 3a to 4c hair and would ordinarily where my in its natural state but occasionally like to where it straight in less humid weather using a safe method.

The app has a couple of handy bonus features, but it’s the straighteners themselves that impressed me. The temperature can be controlled via the Glamoriser app or directly on the straightener, which is a welcome option to those who don’t want to rely on the app alone. It takes 3 – 4 hours to charge the straightener and it then lasts for 40 minutes of straightening time. If you’ve ever tried using your British or Australian straighteners in the USA you’ll know that due to the different electrical systems they often simply don’t get hot enough to use.Achieve salon-worthy sleekness with the Ultra Violet Straighteners from Glamoriser; a must-have styling tool that gives you ultimate results without compromising the health of your locks. Using my smartphone with its associated app, after inputting a few basic facts about the condition of my hair, the app recommended an optimum temperature. In the future, if the Glamoriser Blue becomes smarter with Wi-Fi connectivity, a remote shut off option would be great to see. I haven't connected to the app yet, does seem a little more like a gimmick than anything but still a cool little feature.

We suppose this might save you from having to switch out to the existing calendar app on your phone, though we’re not fully convinced how useful this feature is. Simply download the Glamoriser app to take advantage of personalised heat settings to suit how you style your hair. The ceramic plates are infused with Black Diamond Oil that allows the plates to glide through your hair leaving beautifully sleek locks that are smooth to the touch. It’s narrow like a GHD, the difference being simply that it’s not as long as most corded straighteners. The innovative and super easy-to-use smooth touch panel features allow you to control your individual styling temperature, ranging from 90°C to 230°C.

Despite the shortcoming of the app, we are thoroughly impressed with the Glamoriser Blue on its own. The Glamoriser Blue works with its own app to let you customize your hair profile, control temperatures, and access social media – easily making it a top pick for beauty bloggers, Insta-glam fashionistas and daily users alike. Due to the small size of the unit it does take longer to straighten my hair than a standard straightener.
